Seattle and Washington State have been leftist shitholes far longer than since Trump got into politics.
This is "she shouldn't have worn that dress" levels of logic.

Ai is just the excuse to layoff all these shitty tech workers. Hi buck!
Musk did it at Twitter before Ai. That's the model just nobody wants to admit it.

Yeah they hired pretty much anybody they could for engineering roles back in 2021/22.
They wanted the medium sized company engineer but those guys got locked in during that same time because company's can't afford that amount of system/domain knowledge leaving the building as their volume exploded.

It was also the height of the DEI craze and everyone staffed up to the gills on how that was going to change the way business was done. Truly gotta be one of the absolute stupidest corporate fads of all time.

Speaking of stupid and unconstitutional programs the SBA DEI program funneling no bid contracts to businesses ostensibly owned and run by minorities is being investigated for fraud. Go figure. I voted for honest government. Team dazzler voted for this fraud to be expanded.

"Widespread Misconduct": Trump Admin Orders All Beneficiaries Of Nation's Largest DEI Program To Surrender Financial Recordsby Tyler Durden
The Daily Wire has learned that the Small Business Administration has ordered all 4,300 firms in its 8(a) "socially disadvantaged" program, which receive no-bid federal contracts, to turn over their financial records, including general ledgers, bank statements, payroll files, subcontracting agreements, and other internal documents, by January 5 or face removal from the program.
SBA's crackdown on one of Washington's oldest DEI initiatives follows mounting evidence that some 8(a) firms have become a major pipeline for fraud, pass-through schemes, and artificially inflated contract costs.
Late last month, Peter Schweizer, president of the Government Accountability Institute and the investigative journalist who broke the Clinton Cash corruption story, published a report exposing the cronyism and corruption inside the 8(a) program, where pass-through firms handed bidless contracts on silver platters while quietly outsourcing the real work to major consulting companies.
"For years, DC insiders have exploited a federal DEI contracting program that provides windfalls to Beltway elites. This open secret isn't about helping the downtrodden; it's about bagging no-bid paydays. The SBA's 8(a) program is long overdue for reform," Schweizer wrote on X.
There was also a recent U.S. Treasury Department investigation into $9 billion in small-business contracting, amid alarming concerns from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and others about rampant fraud and abuse in preference-based programs. In other words, meritocracy will return under the Trump administration.
Everyone in the DC consulting world understands how the game works: set up a compliant 8(a) "small business," win the no-bid award, and let the big consulting firms do all the work.

Feel like almost everyone has a story of someone or someone's life partner casually mentioning their 150k diversity officer role and openly getting screechy about leftist politics in front of small/med business owners getting railroaded by bullshit costs.

For the DEI and CRT supporters is should be surprising that the Tug leftards never want to have an honest discussion about why they support DEI and CRT and why these programs are good for minorities other than as a grift for a job the can't get based on merit. Pretending that big companies, the government and the education system wants to discriminate against blacks is ludicrous. Then none of them will even attempt to define who is black and deserving of a position that they can't earn based on merit.
